UN was put into place for peacekeeping efforts and yet there r 5 major countries having veto power.
I don’t understand its use, isn’t a proper voting over issues a better way to go about problems than this ?
Does this veto system actually help in peacekeeping efforts positively ?

The short answer is that those nations wouldn’t have joined the UN if they weren’t given a permanent ability to veto UN security resolutions. And if the UN was created without the US or the USSR then the UN would have been effectively irrelevant, similar to the League of Nations which failed to prevent WW2.
